Has accelerated data integration workflows and supports seamless development of custom connectors
I've worked extensively with Fivetran, mainly used for extraction purposes, and I've worked with the transformation element in it as well. Fivetran not only has built-in connectors but also provides SDK connectors, allowing us to develop our own connectors in an easy manner. I don't have to write raw Python scripts or dumping scripts; it offers straightforward examples and guidelines, making it much simpler to develop custom connectors inside Fivetran. We've been able to develop many custom connectors as well, which is unique and beneficial for having everything centralized instead of having those connectors located elsewhere. One of the best features by Fivetran is its clean, simple, and intuitive UI. It includes a transformation section where I can deploy my DBT queries and scripts. It also supplies good tracking capabilities for billing estimates and user permissions, allowing for customization to the desired level. The number of connectors it has remains a standout feature, and within connectors, the options available are very helpful. Although it sometimes appears static due to its built-in nature, it offers good flexibility for data transformation and caching, which I appreciate because it saves us extensive script-writing time.

Effective data transformation and integration in complex environments with high functionality
Something that could be improved in WSO2 Enterprise Integrator is that the problem is not a lack of capability or functionalities. The problem is that it is a very complex environment. To put your hand on this environment is a very demanding task. This is the real problem. The problem is not about the product, but about the complexity to manage, to configure, to decide what to do. I have some experience using SAP R/3. It seems to me something similar. When you have to configure a situation with a client, especially for a client not in an industrial sector, but in a service sector, it is quite usual that you are in trouble for some reason. This is always the story that I found in the implementations I have done. Maybe there are only three or four big problems, in some other cases there are more than that, but this is the situation usually. For WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, not the same, but I must say it is quite often there is a need to put together some pieces and make it work in a coordinated way.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The simplicity and scalability are the strongest features of Fivetran."
"The portal is very intuitive and easy to use."
"Fivetran is remarkably easy to use; I haven't encountered any other data integration tool that is as user-friendly."
"Fivetran's most valuable feature is replication."
"We would have to hire multiple data engineers to do what Fivetran does and each would cost us about $200,000 a year."
"There's the general feature of the platform where it just makes it very easy to integrate different things, but I would say a specific difference is their integration of DBT,."
"Its arrays are powerful enough to handle migrations even when the replication is happening in the background, without causing any trouble with the ongoing traffic."
"The compare feature is the most valuable piece of it."
"The learning curve for this solution is very good."
"The solution has two main parts: integration and transformation. It's very user-friendly and easy to understand for everyone."
"From the capabilities and functional possibility and anything else technical, it is a very well-done product, I have to say."
"It's a consolidated product. It works and it does its job pretty well."
"The customer service executives are very responsive."
"While I am still exploring the solution, I've so far been pretty satisfied with it."
"The solution's customer service is good."
"The drag-and-drop features for connectors are very valuable."
 

Cons

"The biggest area for improvement is in customization, particularly in how Fivetran socializes its tools."
"Fivetran is very expensive, and its database-driven pricing model is outdated."
"Fivetran would be improved by adding the ability to integrate the data from third-party APIs."
"In our case, we ultimately did not end up using Fivetran because we were able to do custom connects at a lower cost compared to Fivetran. From a cost perspective, if the number of connectors is lesser, then Fivetran is not the most cost-efficient option."
"The connections with SAP must be improved."
"I would like to see an improvement in the support offered by Fivetran."
"There was a random change to our contract in a unilateral manner after the first year. The overall cost of using Fivetran was then unclear and this is the reason I would not recommend this solution."
"An in-line data quality checking capability is missing"
"The customization can be a bit difficult."
"In my opinion, the administration model and interface, of Carbon, are lacking in terms of its features and user experience."
"If I have to buy software, then it becomes expensive for me."
"I would like to see better documentation for the open-source version."
"I would like to see them bring back a feature, from earlier versions, that was very useful in debugging and finding issues."
"The server is very specific and it is very difficult to get experience with it."
"The scalability is not strong. If you want to scale it you have to install multiple servers."
"One of the reasons that we are looking for a replacement is their way of defining integration. The language of the XML structures that I use to describe the integrations are not that standard, and it's not easy to find people who are familiar with this approach."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I've heard that the license for HVR is a bit costly compared to its competitors, but since it's reliable and efficient, I think the customer shouldn't be bothered about the cost."
"The solution is affordable."
"I don't have the exact information, but I know it is high, and it is on a yearly basis. There is no additional cost for what we're doing. We're always open to doing things cheaper, so we might potentially implement a different solution."
"The pricing model is okay and mid to large companies will not have an issue with it."
"The product is reasonably expensive"
"I can't give exact amounts because that's based on usage, but it's more expensive than some of its competitors."
"Fivetran is very expensive, and its database-driven pricing model is outdated."
"I rate the pricing a six out of ten."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."
"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
"It is a low-cost solution."
"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
